Hello all, I just wanted to introduce myself. I started off as a machinist back in the day, then post college, became a computer programmer (C, C++, JS, Oracel, etc.) then chucked it all to become a screen printer. Currently an Uptown resident.I look forward to membership, being involved and contributing where I can.

Your screen printing knowledge will be of great help here! I'm building a UV station and screen dryer for the space. Just need to find a nice and dark area for burning screens at the shop. Let me know if you want to lend a hand.

Hey, I just bought some t-shirts for member use, intending to get TCM designs stitched in. Screen printing would be another option, if we can get dye that is steadfast and high quality. Otherwise I have a person who would be interested in doing the embroidering.

I can get t-shirts wholesale. How many were you thinking of printing?The wholesale cost of a blank Gildan color Heavyweight is under $2.40-ish (don't tell anybody). Sometimes much cheaper depending on the weekly distributor price.

Absolutely fantastic, and what an attractive website and product selection!!! I like your foil, shimmer, neon, and distressed options.

I bought my sample shirts for embroidery testing at $3.33 apiece, plus taxes. Historically, we've worn black colored shirts, and that's what I bought. Hopefully these are good for screen printing as well.

I have a few designs worked up already, and other members do too. What is your preferred graphics format for printing? We've discussed having one design for TCM representatives at public events where we have a booth, but perhaps variety will work as well.
